Hey IHSC, AV = anti-venom: a colorful term used by a no-longer-posting SI guy named Jeff who had a unique but effective approach to TA trading. I learned only a little about his style before he went away. AV occurs when indicators (such as stochs, williamsr, etc.) fall from overbought levels, APPEARING to signal a selloff. Then they snap back off around the 50 line and the market continues higher - as if to say: "fooled you." That's the simple definition, but there are nuances to this phenomenon.

BTW: DB = death blow: same as AV, except when indicators are coming from oversold.
